Cape Town, South Africa Travel Info

Wrapped around the most famous icon of South Africa, Table Mountain, is the
Mother City with its green gardens
and white beaches. It is one of the loveliest cities in the world. There is such a wide variety of
activities and attractions, that many visitors spend their whole holiday in this "Most
Beautiful Cape of Them All". There are various scenic drives, like the one through the
picturesque harbor town of Hout Bay along the breathtaking Chapman's Peak towards the Cape Of Good
Hope (the most south-western point in Africa). Here one can imagine the two oceans (Indian and
Atlantic) meeting. Take a stroll in the popular Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in the harbor, a
boat ride to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was a prisoner for two decades, or visit one of the
many architectural and historical buildings in the city center. The highlight of any visit is a
trip, either hiking or using the ultra modern cable car, up the 1089 meter Table Mountain for some
magnificent views of the surrounding areas. It serves as a good base for excursions to the nearby
Cape Winelands of
Stellenbosch and
Paarl, the less touristy, but attractive West Coast and the
Garden
Route starting from
Cape Town along the coast to the Storms River in the Eastern Cape. This
600-kilometre stretch of small towns, wineries, farms and sea villages has been a
traveller's joy
for more than a century.
